    I too find Bernie unfit. Can’t say for sure Biden is any different than he was in his 40’s. He’s been confused since birth.

    LOL.... that is the worst spin I've heard in a while. That's like saying the Hindenburg followed an "unscheduled landing procedure"

    He's sick.... It may be minor or it may be worse... all humans get sick at one time or another and only the Trump administration attempts to claim otherwise..

    Completing "portions" of your "annual" physical before you are due for your annual physical?? Riiiight....

    Agreed Derideo it's just "good medicine" to diagnose first then appropriately treat by the least invasive methods. We do over prescribed.

    The above said, it should be noted that modern pharmacology has done more to extended lifespan than "physicians", hands down.

    Probably just acid reflux.

    Let's not follow in the conservative forum members' footsteps from 2016, who celebrated every time Hillary had a coughing fit, or who went on an on how she had to be helped up stairs.

    He was at Walter Reed for 2 hours.

    I don't know how "reporters" know what his chief complaint was-but anyone with "chest pain" isn't leaving in 2 hours.

    CNN- "The President also stopped by to say hello to the medical staff of Walter Reed, to share his thanks for all the outstanding care they provide to our Wounded Warriors, and wish them an early happy Thanksgiving,"

    Some news sites have revealed the prognosis from his visit. The doctors told him to eat as many Big Macs as he could for every meal followed by three orders of fries, two milkshakes with sprinkles on them and then chase them all down with four Snickers Bars. They told him if he does this every day for the rest of his term, he will be in even better shape then he is right now.

    Does the WH actually not have a basic medical facility to do something as simple as an EKG? Given the age of most presidents and the damage that could be caused by adversaries seeing that a president needs to see a doctor or hospital, this seems like an oversight.

    An ECG (we aren't in Germany) does not rule out a heart attack.

    Looks like he went there to say hello to the troops and get any testing that would require him to return during the election season out of the way.

    Anything emergent would be assessed by the white house medical staff or he would be taken to a local DC hospital.

    Actually, EKG as a common abbreviation, is often used in the US too. As a medical person, you should know this. Of course, you are only using semantics as your typical jab against my heritage, in the absence of rational arguments.

    Donald Trump has unexpectedly gone to Walter Reed hospital – and something doesn’t add up

    He is busy writing his own health report.

    They're hoping that it's something serious. Just like they hope the impeachment circus is something serious.

    In medicine, EKG is used by old timers and those who don't know better.

    The first could certainly solve the problem of the second... Trump will always try to find the unique way out of being impeached...
